1. Give students time to choose what images they want to use in their picture. Have them pick images that can be challenging (food works well). (10 -30 minute)

2. Have the students lightly sketch out their image on paper, trying to only draw the outline of each object. If they have to draw details to make the image correctly, they will need to erase anything inside of the outline, or trace it on to a new piece of paper. (5-15 minutes)

3. Teacher can demonstrate who to make bubble and block letters and how they might fit into specific shapes. (ex: a ball, tea cup, a spoon. (20-30 minutes)

4. Student will begin to lightly draw their letters into the shapes. Letters should fit tightly so that if you were to erase the outline of your object(s) the shape of that object will remain. Any letter that has an open, students will need to shrink the opening so that it is small. Any gaps or openings will not be colored so you do not want larger openings or gaps. (20-30 minutes)

5. Once the students have their letters placed inside of their objects, they can erase any lines that are not a part of a letter (gaps).

6. Once the students have their drawing the way they want it, they will outline each letter with colored pencils(pressing hard, so the color is bold). Then, students can softly fill in each letter with the color(s) of that object. (15-30 minutes)

Rubric

I usually only allow my students to use one word per item. Ex:The tub in my example is just tub, instead of using the word tub over and over to fill the space.
